We served this tart, tangy, and boozy Negroni-inspired punch at our 3rd Annual Serious Eats Cookie Swap, and the revelers demanded a second batch almost immediately. More

In addition to being gorgeous, this punch has a delicate, fresh flavor: the sweetness from bourbon, honey, and sparkling wine is well-balanced by tart, fresh grapefruit and rosemary-laced Aperol. More

The Outcider is a classic punch with a subtle twist. Served warm, the flavor reminds us of a more complex, more aromatic version of hot spiced cider. Tea adds a lovely herbal depth to a comforting, familiar drink. More

Pronounced "gun-ole," a Gunwhale is the upper edge of a ship's or boat's side. It's a perfect cocktail to come out of The Drink, a Williamsburg bar with a nautical vibe. The punch has the rich woodiness of bourbon without the tell-tale kick, so it's a little dangerous. More

This punch from The Drink has the fresh sweetness of apple juice with the rich depth of the finest cider. And rum, of course, which doesn't hurt things at all. More

The Queequeg from The Drink is a rum punch named after a character in Moby Dick, and does its nautical namesake proud. The punch is made special thanks to the bottle of Cooper's Vintage Ale that's poured in just before serving. The beer's maltiness balances the sweetness of the rum and honey. More

Rum, orange, cardamom, make for a citrusy, sweet punch from Slightly Oliver in NYC. More

If you prefer your cocktails more bitter than sweet, this punch from Slightly Oliver is for you. It's spiked with rum and absinthe. More

We love the zesty tang that a healthy dose of lime juice lends to this bourbon-cider punch from Slightly Oliver. Don't skip the bay leaves, they add a wonderful aromatic depth. More
